Press Release

Bosch, based on Michael Connelly’s best-selling Harry Bosch series,
and The After, from X-Files creator Chris Carter, will be Amazon
Studios’ first hour-long drama pilots

Amazon Instant Video will host pilot episodes and viewer response
will help determine which shows go into full-season production

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 31, 2013--
(NASDAQ:AMZN)—Following Amazon Studios’ pilot announcement earlier this
month, Amazon today announced it has given the green light for the
production of its first two hour-long drama pilots: Bosch, based
on Michael Connelly’s best-selling Harry Bosch book series and written
by Emmy-nominated Eric
Overmyer (The Wire, Treme) and Michael
Connelly, and The After, written and directed by Emmy-nominee Chris
Carter (The X-Files).

Customers will be invited to watch the pilots on Amazon Instant Video at
no cost and can provide feedback that will help determine which pilots
should be produced as series to air exclusively on Prime Instant Video
and Amazon’s LOVEFiLM in the UK in early 2014.

“We are very excited to be working with creators like Michael Connelly
and Chris Carter, both epic storytellers in their own right,” said Roy
Price, Director of Amazon Studios. “For the first time we are bringing
Amazon customers hour-long programming and we can’t wait to hear what
they think of these new stories.”

“Sharing this story with television audiences is very exciting,
something that’s been twenty years in the making,” said author Michael
Connelly. “It is amazing to have it come together with the synergy of
Amazon—the world’s largest bookstore—along with accomplished creator and
showrunner, Eric Overmyer, and Fabrik, a production company dedicated to
loyalty to the books. Harry Bosch can be in no better hands.”

“I’m very superstitious about talking about what I’m working on before
it’s finished, and it’s more fun if it’s kept a mystery! So let me just
say that this is a show that explores human frailty, possibility,
terror, and the triumph of the human spirit,” said Chris Carter, creator
of The After. “I’m so excited to be telling this story with
Amazon in this new frontier of television.”
